Genitalia of the Group Noctuidae of the Lepidoptera of the British Islands e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. It is therefore not without misgivings that I am induced to record the results of 20 years spent in happy investigations, made in odd hours stolen from so busy a life that often weeks would elapse, before I could spare the time to continue my favourite pursuits, this coupled with the fact that I have suffered nearly every year with a distressing eye trouble, must be sufficient excuse for not falling in with my friends wishes earlier. A mere accident drew my attention to these organs, and about the same time a question arose as to the identity of certain specimens of Miana taken in Ireland, which appeared to puzzle the savants of that time.
